OK to use ammonia on edible plants.

If you don't like my political propaganda, then you must be one of Gov. Walker's stooges, just another capitalist shill, undermining American values by trying to distract from the corporate coup d'Etat taking place in America now. I'd heard that a lot of you were hired recently. Intelligent people come to different political stances. Sincere people understand this and respect the political differences of others. Your post said more about your sincerity than you probably wanted it to. There's all sorts of political discussion in American. There always has been. Across time the amount of partisan vitriol was gone up and down. That part is nothing new. Here's what I think gets too little discussion - The US form of government in specific and the republic model in general was evolved in a time when corporations did not exist and when corporations were new. The republic model does not take into account that corporations are immortal in addition to governments. Either corporations or governments can die, but they can also live for extremely long times. History has shown that as governments age their size has grown and their oppression has grown. History is replete with revolutions because of this. So far revolutions have not yet been explicitly about corporations growing in that manner. I think recent revolutions have been implicitly about that. Anti-trust laws were an early attempt to deal with this trend. They did not span governments. We need some other method of dealing with this trend. The republic form of government slows the growth of governments but does not solve the problem. Anti-trust laws slowed the growth of corporations but did not solve the problem. Constitutional forms further slowed the growth but did not solve the problem. I don't have an innovate solution to both of these overlapping trends but I do know that the current debate about capitalism versus socialism is not going to help. That's just another pendulum swinging back and forth across history, and I don't think that trend is as new as those words. Looking back across history the trend exists as far back as history exists. But corporations as immortal legal entities go back a much shorter time. The Hudson Bay Trading Company was the first one according to what I was taught in school. Companies existed before then but the form was different. |
